in the virginia case that was heard a few weeks ago, the stand-alone case the state of virginia brought, the court there found that standing exists and thiebl court will find that too. we have the right to be there in court today, we need to go forward on this. it's not the only count in here. there's six counts we're arguing. >> pat buchanan. >> congressman, if you can get the individual mandate basically invalidated as unconstitutional, does obamacare unravel? >> yes, it does. the fact is there's no what's called a severability clause. there's no severability clause in this law. so under the way our laws work, if any one provision is declared unconstitutional, the entire legislation goes down as unconstitutional plus the mandate is viewed as the linchpin. everybody says without it this legislation doesn't work. you have to go back to a different model of how you solve the health care model and that's what i personally think they should be doing. in our case, our state simply can't afford this. >> bill mccullum, it's always great talking to you and i'm sure we'll have you back as judge

well, pat buchanan, you let out a rebel yell last night in mcclain, virginia, heard all the way down to vienna. why were you so excited about this victory in delaware that will certainly, almost certainly assure that harry reid, if he wins in nevada, will be the majority leader for two more years? >> it was the heart, not the head responding. the truth is -- no, that's the truth. look, here's a very attractive young woman, fresh and maybe she's not schooled, et cetera, but she's knocked off somebody, a big rockefeller republican, the greatest night of her life. and you've got to rejoice with her, and rove's attitude, his analysis may be spot-on, but his attitude looked contemptuous, to me. and i'll tell you, my guess is this morning, people that look at that karl rove, if we run the whole clip, i don't see how you respond positively to that. i mean, i think what romney has to do and people like that is to say, look, we can't win without these folks with us. they won this one. let's go down there and help them. we lost. we may not have liked it. but let's get together. that's the only
